[QUOTE="Oochy, post: 1463375, member: 279977"] I've been stupid and spilled milk less tea on my 2010 October MacBook. It was on at the time and nothing happened to what was on screen. I've now switched it off and disconnected it, and wiped the keyboard, and placed it upside down on a soft cotton cloth on a chair seat. Does the fact that there were no changes on the screen give me any hope that there is no damage to the machine? Shall I only know after 72 hours? Should I open it up and check inside? For this model I know that the battery is not removable. I'm not sure if I should wait the 3 days or so before opening it to clean, or if I should clean it right away. When I open it will I see if the tea reached inside from any indicator? I know my questions might seem repetitive, but I did read through the entire thread, I promise. [/QUOTE]
